WELL DONE!

This weekend has been FANTASTIC! A HUGE well done to everybody involved - especially on Sunday when the rain decided to go on and on and on....! Everyone worked so hard and were very professional. It was great to see everyone working as a team bringing together everything that we've experienced and learnt over the past few months. Here are a few comments and pictures from the AD Holmes shoot....



Hannah, Scriptwriter, Goole
“It’s completely unreal! It’s so cool! Goole Silent Movie Project is something I’ll always, always remember. I never, for a second thought my film would have been chosen! It’s fantastic having my own film made at 14 years old and this weekend it’s really come alive. Just seeing the fabulous costume, make-up and special effects has just made my story come to life. The directors Beth and Martin have been really good at letting me have my input into shaping the film. They have done an excellent job in tuning my story and the visions I had into a reality. I can’t wait to see the final film now!”


Martin, Director, Goole
“I think it’s gone really well this weekend. I’m surprised that when filming scenes it takes much longer than you think. It also makes you understand the whole film making process. Myself and Beth also didn’t realise how much lighting can effect a shot – it is so important to get the right lighting and to watch the shadows. This project has really opened my eyes to silent movies, and the way they are filmed. That you can talk whilst filming and you do need quiet on-set so that the actors can concentrate.”


Emma, Props, Goole
“I think this weekend has been really good fun! I’ve been in charge of all the props and it has been so interesting to see how much goes on in one scene. You have to think about the scene before and the scene after for continuity. It was a little easier filming outside with a few props but inside we had to dress sets so had more to think about. I would definitely love to take on this role again.”




Sarah, Extra, Howden
“This weekend has been such an exciting experience. It’s amazing to see the process of film making. I was really impressed at the level of professionalism and amazed at the ideas the group had come up with. The costume and make-up were fantastic and made the characters come to life.”



Let's hope 'The Lost Princess' shoot goes just as smoothly as 'Dr AD Holmes' did this weekend!

Well Done!

id like to say a BIG THANKYOU to everyone who took part in the making of Dr A.D Holmes, the quality of acting was amazing and the crew did a fantastic job with the makeup, costumes, finding props quickly, camera etc. i just loved the experiance and have learnt alot from it. also the extras did a brilliant job for just coming along and picking up quickly their roles and creating a brilliant atmosphere. also i think Brian deserves a mention as without him i dont think we would of been able to pull off the film aswell as it went. so thanks very much for helping us expand our knowledge on the era, and helping us with locations/props. it must of been hard for you to stay still for so long during the dying scene!

once again it has been an amazing experiance and im really looking forward to the lost princess and watching the final results.
